Playing Styles & Prediction
Although neither player had a remarkable summer on the hard courts, technically Raducanu's run to the quarter-final was the better performance of the two. Raducanu also gets the benefit of an extra match under her belt as Kasatkina had a bye into the second round. Poor weather means they will have to play twice.
The year has been steady but not spectacular for Kasatkina, but she holds a dominant advantage in her head-to-head over Raducanu. The Brit had to battle to make it into the quarter-final with seven match-points but has enjoyed something of a resurgence this year and is now back in the top 100.
Prediction: Kasatkina in three sets.
